4.6 / 5.0(785 reviews)
Love this place! We finally tried it our last trip to PC and loved it so much that e ate there 2 days in a row. The wings are amazing-get them naked with the sauce on the side. So crisp & juicy. The smoked tuna dip is incredible. I don’t even love tuna and loved it. The free bread with pesto & oil is so good. We loved our salads, pasta and seafood. The butterscotch crème brûlée and salted caramel cheesecake were both delicious too. The service both times was great also - I love when the servers are excited about the food & tell you their favorites. Can’t wait to go back! I own the bookstore down the road and I’m here once or twice a week. It’s a new favorite of mine. 10/10 recommend. Their marry me chicken and the pontchartrain are my absolute favorites. Haven, Jay, Hope and Elise all made sure we had the best baby shower! Thank you to everyone that made this day special! They even made my girl a strawberry smash mocktail! It was so yummy and she was so happy! There is a reason this is my favorite local spot!

The server was great, very attentive and friendly. The debris sandwich was very good. The kids linguine and meatball portion was very large. The parmesan fries were hot and on point. The Buffalo chicken melt was a little overdone. Overall a good meal at a decent price.
